Surfactant phosphatidylcholine half-life and pool size measurements in premature baboons developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia

Description : Because minimal information is available about surfactant metabolism in bronchopulmonary dysplasia, we measured half-lives and pool sizes of surfactant phosphatidylcholine in very preterm baboons recovering from respiratory distress syndrome and developing bronchopulmonary dysplasi...

Metabolism of endogenous surfactant in premature baboons and effect of prenatal corticosteroids

Description : We studied the synthesis of surfactant and the effect of prenatal betamethasone treatment in vivo in very preterm baboons. Ten pregnant baboons were randomized to receive either betamethasone (beta) or saline (control) 48 and 24 h before preterm delivery. The newborn ba...

The effect in premature infants of prenatal corticosteroids on endogenous surfactant synthesis as measured with stable isotopes

Description : Most in vitro studies show that prenatal administration of corticosteroids stimulates the synthesis of surfactant phosphatidylcholine (PC), but studies in animals are controversial. Whether prenatal corticosteroids stimulate surfactant PC synthesis in humans has not bee...

Bioactive rather than total IGF-I is involved in acute responses to nutritional interventions in CAPD patients

Description : Background. Inadequate food intake plays an important role in the development of malnutrition in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients.Aim of the study. The aim of the study was to investigate in CAPD patients whether circulating insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) bioactivity m...

Whole-body protein turnover in peritoneal dialysis patients: A comparison of the [15N]glycine end product and the [13C]leucine precursor methods

Description : Background. Two well-described methods for measuring whole-body protein turnover (WBPT) are the precursor method using a primed continuous infusion of [1-13C]leucine and the end-product method with a single oral dose of [15N]glycine. We previously measured the effects of amino acid (AA)-containing d...

Endogenous surfactant turnover in preterm infants measured with stable isotopes

Description : We studied surfactant synthesis and turnover in vivo in preterm infants using the stable isotope [U-13C]glucose, as a precursor for the synthesis of palmitic acid in surfactant phosphatidylcholine (PC). Six preterm infants (birth weight, 916 +/- 244 g; gestational age, ...

Peritoneal Protein Losses and Cytokine Generation in Automated Peritoneal Dialysis with Combined Amino Acids and Glucose Solutions

Description : Objectives. Protein-energy malnutrition as a consequence of deficient protein intake frequently occurs in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Previously, we showed that peritoneal dialysate containing a mixture of amino acids (AA) and glucose has anabolic effects. However AA-dialysate has been repor...
